In this article the simple forms of André Jolles are viewed from a ‘modern’ perspective. His theory of basic language structures that develop from submerged and collective mental processes active in all societies and the manifestation of these structures in more complex structures, the simple forms (Einfache Formen), is analysed and discussed. The legend as a simple form is discussed at length and the other simple forms are merely mentioned. Similarities between Jolles’ theory and contemporary literary theories are indicated, as well as the manifestation of certain aspects of the simple forms in modern texts. In conclusion the relation between the simple forms and the archetypal and ritual aspects of the novels of Etienne Leroux is discussed
